CirTran Wins Contract to Develop Next-Generation SafetyNet RadioBridge.SALT LAKE CITY -- CirTran Corp. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). BB: CIRT CIRT Computer Incident Response Team CIRT Critical Incident Response Team CIRT Camara Nacional de La Industria de Radio y Television (Mexican Association of Broadcasters) CIRT Central Institute of Road Transport ), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, said today it has been awarded a contract to develop the next-generation SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM). The contract from Aegis Assessments Inc. (OTC BB: AGSI AGSI Association for Global Strategic Information AGSI Automatic Government Source Inspection ), of Scottsdale, Ariz., calls for CirTran to add features for enhanced performance in the SafetyNet RadioBridge, which interconnects incompatible radios, bridging them to provide radio interoperability at emergency sites in just minutes. Shaher Hawatmeh, CirTran's chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. , said the redesign will improve bridging of trunked and non-trunked radios, enhance sound quality in audio transmissions, and add internal storage for cables, headsets and other accessories. "CirTran knows that the Department of Homeland Security Noun 1. Department of Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States (DHS DHS Department of Homeland Security (USA) DHS Department of Human Services DHS Department of Health Services DHS Demographic and Health Surveys DHS Dirhams (Morocco national currency) ) places a very high priority on communications interoperability for first responders," said Hawatmeh. Project SAFECOM, the federal umbrella program managed by the DHS, oversees initiatives and projects pertaining to public safety communications and interoperability for approximately 50,000 public safety agencies in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , including 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies A law enforcement agency (LEA) is a term used to describe any agency which enforces the law. This may be a local or state police, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). , 26,000 fire departments, 6,000 emergency medical responders, and several thousand utility and infrastructure public agencies. CirTran Chosen "to Ensure Quality and Continuity" "CirTran was selected to redevelop and manufacture the SafetyNet RadioBridge for a variety of reasons," said Richard Reincke, president of Aegis Assessments. "We wanted to ensure quality and continuity in the process, from design to manufacture, and then to high-volume manufacturing," Reincke said. "CirTran will redesign the product and begin building units. As manufacturing needs grow, CirTran offers a unique blend of quality and quantity, including the ability to build at its Salt Lake City facility or control a higher volume output through its CirTran-Asia subsidiary in China." Reincke said that while DHS officials do not have a cost estimate for the national deployment of patching systems, JPS JPS Jewish Publication Society JPS John Peter Smith (Hospital; Texas) JPS Justice & Public Safety JPS Jean Piaget Society JPS Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome JPS Joint Planning Staff Communications, a unit of Raytheon Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :RTN RTN Return RTN Raytheon Company (stock symbol) RTN Research Training Network RTN Rotarian RTN Routing Transit Number RTN Recursive Transition Network RTN Register Transfer Notation RTN Radial Tangential Normal ), has estimated that patchwork interoperability (the kind of system sold by Aegis and JPS) could be accomplished nationwide for approximately $350 million. Patchworking devices, Reincke said, allow public safety agencies to use existing radio systems to temporarily integrate communications with other agencies without incurring the time and cost of building new or additional infrastructure. Other proposed solutions to radio interoperability, Reincke said, include standards-based shared systems. Companies promoting standards-based shared systems include Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT), the market leader in two-way radio services for public safety, transportation, utility and government in the United States. Estimates for implementation of a national emergency radio system run as high as $18 billion.
